The alarming disease of this
country is nervous debility and
prostration. 1t goes under
many names but it is essen
tally the same complaint.
Hospitals and vetc institu-
tons for n"rr~..S patlents are
crowded.. The average Of life
in the United States is de-
creasing every year. Sudden
deaths from nervous collapse
among our business, profess
ional and l.,,,lic mei are so
frequent as scarcely to excite
remark. Tie ina. .llt.y Of sui
cides, committed without APP
parent reason, CT un,ierso-called
depression of spirits" are
really prompted by nervous
prostration, VIA h is a fruitful
source OF iH.,aa ~ and crime
with all them sr.e! and horror.
These facts are startling.
They threaten he very life of
the nation. 4!cy assail the
springs OF its noTer and pros
perity. They yrecA manhood's
strength and woman's useful
ness and beauty
Every one should know the
causes. What ore they? The
answer is e&ey and terribly
plain: Our vcious personal
habits; oru' tarte,'s and lawless
eating and drillk,n@; the In
tense mental and physical strain
arising from our mad race after
money, position and influence;
the fears and struggle. Of pow
crty; the use Of narcotics and
stilnulants; our fashion of
turning day into night and
night into day; and, briefly,
our desperate willingness to
pay any price for an hours
pleasure or success. SO we
burn LIES candle at both ends
and fill the lunatic asylums
and the graveyards.
The disease from which we
suffer and die is, in plain Eng
fish, Nervous Dyspepsia, as it
is seated in the Nerves and in
the organs of Digestion, Assim-
ilation and Nut zion. Healthy
digestion being impeded or des-
troyed, tie whole body, nerves
included, is literally starred;
even when there is no ENACT
alton to tell the sad story.
Nervous prostration sends
out its warnings:-headache
in the morning; a persistent
dull heaviness or aching at the
base of the brain; wakefulness;
loss ofappetite and disgustwith
food; loss Of mental energy and
interest in ordinary duties and
business; restlessness and anx-
iety without any assignable
reason; quotations; bad
breath; foul mucous on the
teeth; occasional giddiness;
palpitation of the heart; sal
lowness of the skin; coated
tongue and gradual failure of
strength and ambition.
The remedy is q total aban-
donment of the habits and GUS
toms which cause the disease
in each individual case, and the
use of Shaker Ertract Of Roots
(Seigel's Syrup to cure the
mischief already done. This
great remedy, prepared by the
Shaker Community of Mt. Leb-
anon, N. Y, is especially adapt
ed to eradicate Nervous Dys-
pepsia. To do this it acts
directly and gently but power
fully upon t.ic di%o"iered stom-
ach, liver and kidneys, restor-
ing their tone and vigor, pro-
noting the secretion of bile, ex-
polling waste matters from the
system, and 'ymg the blood.
Upon tie nervous system
Shaker Eat,acttSei9el'sSyrup)
acts as a safe and wholesome
anodyne without tic slightest
narcotic effect, ana lhen leaves
the nerves to REGAIN their nat
ural tone and strength through
its wonderful influence upon
the function of nutrition.
1t is safe to say more nerv-
Gus dyspeptics have been re-
stored by ii from the depths
of misery to a fresh enjoyment
of life and labor than by any
or all other forms of treatment
combined.
